Music Monday - ILLENIUM and Bring Me the Horizon "Slave to the Rithm"

I am always up for new BMTH music. And a collab with ILLENIUM is perfect for their sound. Loving this one!

Music Monday - ATEEZ "Adrenaline"

ATEEZ’s comeback album snuck up on me. I was so distracted by the Stray Kids concert movie that I forgot about it until Friday. Thank goodness I remembered and downloaded immediately. I’m really digging their new title track “Adrenaline.” Lots of power in this one!

Chevelle is one of those bands that I occasionally forget about and then rediscover. I always dig their sound. Not sure why they seem so forgettable. Loving this new song!

An older Pierce the Veil song that I somehow completely missed. I’m really loving this sound and downloaded the corresponding album.

Music Monday - Kami Kehoe "Fade Out"

Found Kami when she was featured in one of my favorite Instagram poster’s videos. She reminds me a lot of Amy Lee. I’m really digging her vibe.

Music Monday - hannah bahng "Misunderstood"

Very different vibe than her brother’s music, but I’ve really come to like Hannah Bahng’s music also.

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday - Stray Kids "Divine"

Stray Kids dropped their new album and oh my goodness, I love it so much! “Divine” is hands-on my favorite of the tracks. But really the entire thing is a No-Skip album.

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday - CL "Spicy"

I was listening to a podcast Bang Chan and Felix from Stray Kids created for Apple Music in 2024 and they highlighted this track by CL. I had no knowledge of her before then but now I am obsessed with her. This song is just so great!

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday - Take the Name feat. What Lies Below "Blackest Void"

Every once in awhile, Apple Music gives me a recommendation that I actually really love. This one definitely peaked my interest.

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday - Evanescence "Afterlife"

K-Pop summer is over, but don’t worry, I’m still listening to K-Pop all the time. For November, I’m swinging back to metal as my comfort music. This week I had to highlight a newer song from Evanescence.

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday - HAN "Updraft"

It’s a K-Pop summer! After doing my Top 10 Stray Kids songs, I decided to focus on some other K-Pop groups and people that I enjoy.

HAN has done a few OSTs with others, but this is his first solo OST. And I absolutely love it! He always brings the rock side out with his songs.

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday - Seungmin "Phobia"

It’s a K-Pop summer! After doing my Top 10 Stray Kids songs, I decided to focus on some other K-Pop groups and people that I enjoy.

Seungmin has done so many great OSTs, but this one is hands-down my favorite. I just really really love his voice. It’s why he’s in my bias line.

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday - Stray Kids "Ghost"

It’s a K-Pop summer! After doing my Top 10 Stray Kids songs, I decided to focus on some other K-Pop groups and people that I enjoy. But today, I’m switching back to Stray Kids. Since I started my summer of K-Pop, Stray Kids released an album!

“Ghost” is undoubtedly my favorite song off the new album Karma. It’s not a happy song, but it really does speak to me. Plus the vocals are unreal.

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday - Babymonster "Batter Up"

It’s a K-Pop summer! After doing my Top 10 Stray Kids songs, I decided to focus on some other K-Pop groups and people that I enjoy.

Babymonster is a relatively recent discovery for me. I do enjoy their sound. Reminds me of a Blackpink.

Music Monday - Aespa "Whiplash"

It’s a K-Pop summer! After doing my Top 10 Stray Kids songs, I decided to focus on some other K-Pop groups and people that I enjoy.

Music Monday - Jungkook "Standing Next to You"

It’s a K-Pop summer! After doing my Top 10 Stray Kids songs, I decided to focus on some other K-Pop groups and people that I enjoy.

Jungkook’s album was much harder to pick a favorite. Really I love every song on Golden, but I had to narrow it down. I went with “Standing Next to You” mainly because this song always makes me want to get up and groove along with it. So good!

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday - J-Hope "Killin' It Girl"

It’s a K-Pop summer! After doing my Top 10 Stray Kids songs, I decided to focus on some other K-Pop groups and people that I enjoy.

Another super catchy song! I’ll admit to not being a fan of BTS. But I do love some of the member’s solo stuff. I love J-Hope’s rough exterior and catchy beats.
